Alcoholism Support Group

Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.

Hello everyone

Hi, I'm new here again. Use to come on here a lot years ago. Wanted to introduce myself and say hello. I plan to be on here much more. I need to reach out more and find some hope again. I"m going to start AA again Thursday. A neighbor is taking me along with. I finally said yes. Gotta do something. I can't fix myself, I need to put myself into the positions where I can get help though instead of isolating. It's been so hard to think I"ll ever know what joy, peace, love, happiness, self-esteem, purpose, even hobbies are. Relationships, what's that? I haven't lived in over 25 years. I feel dead inside. I need to know I can find those things again. That I can get better. Last time I felt ok was when i was a child. 2 days sober and it has to be the last time. I'm going to start going to church Sunday also with the same person who's nice enough to ask me along. Thanks for reading

2 days is cool. Checkout page 83 in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. Those promises are real. I know it doesn't seem possible right now. Be patient and kind to yourself. Talk to other alcoholics. I never thought I would find any joy in life. For me, spiritual fitness = serenity = peace = joy. Ya see, my expectations and what I thought I needed to be happy have changed. I now find joy in the journey rather than the highs and lows. Don't drink today and read some of the big book. You are no longer alone.

One day at a time, that's all you have to think about...fellowship when getting sober is important as it gives you a network to help support us when we are struggling. But whether you have had 2 days, or 20 years, it's still one day at a time...take it from one who knows. Never say never, just know yesterday is gone, tomorrow isn't here yet, so don't worry about what was, could have, should have, just deal with today and you'll be okay. Keep reaching out when your feeling shaky, and just don't drink.

It takes a bit of effort but the reward of not drinking is peace and happiness. I found that back when I was drinking and trying to quit I did a bunch of things, I tried this and that and a Doctor told me to go to aa every day that I used to drink. That was over 5 years ago and it has worked. See I drank to hide from me. When I like me I don't have to hide any more. I pray for you to find peace

Well it happened as I thought it might. After a year sober I haven’t noticed that another month went by. Four days ago. This doesn’t mean I’m not aware of my sobriety. Actually the opposite. Abstaining from alcohol opened the door to my sober mind. I feel clear and refreshed in my thoughts and emotions. To me the clean in clean and sober (since I don’t use drugs) means a clean mind....

I am not sure where to post this so it is going here. When I started getting sober a year ago I was still smoking weed and was up until just a couple days ago. I had taken kratom a few years back but started taking it multiple times daily after not too long of getting off the booze. It instantly helped calm me down, helped me sleep, let me get thru the days without being in horrible pain and...
